"Lobster Johnson takes a beating!" said Mignola.

Lobster Johnson is the latest character from the Hellboy universe to be announced, following on the heels of Hellboy himself and the B.P.R.D.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Mignola announced the forthcoming Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand miniseries, which will be illustrated by Tonci Zonjic (Who is Jake Ellis?) and serve as a 'Year One' story for the character.
